Obviously, I haven’t posted in a couple weeks. I’ve had a few things going on, professionally and personally, that have kept me from giving TCS my full attention. And I’d rather not hack something out just to give you pages on time. So I’m putting weekly updates on hold.
However, there are some big things happening with TCS, and I hope to have an announcement soon.
Thank you for your patience. See you soon.
Just giving everyone a heads up. Due to an increasing workload, new pages of TCS may update somewhat erratically. I’ll try to stick to the schedule as much as possible, but I wanted to at least warn you there might be some delays here and there.
As always, thanks for your patience, and thanks for reading.
This week, I gave a tip of the hat to a few of my inspirations, in particular the great crime novelist Raymond Chandler. Chandler’s books have poetic prose, intriguing characters, and ask questions about humanity and morality. Additionally, both Robert Altman’s adaptation of “The Long Goodbye,” as well as the Coen Brothers’ modern classic “The Big Lebowski,” itself inspired by Chandler, have played a role in the continued development of “Trench Coat Samurai.”
As for what other inspirations I hinted at… well, maybe I’ll talk about those another time.
Looks like I pulled the trigger on this story a little too soon. Various circumstances have lead to a delay in production, so I’m now a couple pages behind where I want to be. I’m taking this next week to catch up, and the story should resume on Monday, March 4th.
In the meantime, check out my other webcomic, The Undercovered Agent.
My sincerest apologies for the delay.
I’ve had to make some slight changes to the schedule, and it looks like the next chapter of Trench Coat Samurai – now titled “A Light In The Black” – will start February 18th, rather than the original start date of February 11th. I’m not thrilled about this only because I pride myself on my professionalism. I deliver when I’m supposed to. I’ve only rarely missed deadlines in my career. But this honestly couldn’t be helped. I’ve just got a lot going on right now. 2013 started off with a serious bang, an explosion that’s affected every aspect of my life, professionally and personally, positive and negative. If being one week late on TCS is the only setback, then I guess I’ve come out of it okay.
The extra time is being used to polish the script, and ensure I deliver a story that’s fun and exciting. It’s all for you, my faithful readers, and I hope you enjoy it.
In the meantime, THE UNDERCOVERED AGENT will launch as scheduled February 15th. Hey, that’s the day after Valentines Day! I guess that means I choo-choo-choose you.
That’s all for now. Come back on the 18th.
